Double E unwind roll stands are pre-configured for easy integration into any converting process to upgrade or replace old or inefficient winding stations, or to add a new unwind station to an existing machine. These stands are packaged with all accessories working together, and warrantied by a single supplier. Prices for new equipment from Double E are often lower than comparable used equipment.

Shafted Unwind Roll Stands

Double E has manufactured hundreds of unwind stands to suit a wide variety of applications. Whether you need a light duty cantilevered unwind stand, or a heavy duty reinforced stand for an aggressive application, Double E has the experience to design and build exactly what is needed to meet the operating specifications.

The triple unwind stand (bottom right) is an excellent example of Double E's customization expertise. This stand is a unique design that was engineered for a producer of laminated film. The customer needed a more efficient method for manufacturing a five-layered material. Since the customer already had three individual stands, Double E engineered this stand to replace one of those single unwind stands to give them a total of five unwind sections. This stand consisted of a control panel with three Re EP.25 T-One controllers, safety chucks holding three DG-2000 aluminum bladder shafts and regulated with Re TC load cells and pneumatic brakes.

Drop-In Unwind Modules

Double E can also offer drop-in or bolt-on modules to upgrade existing machines.

As an example, this custom module was created for a supplier of plastic sheets and roll stock. The customer needed a bolt-on double unwind stand with closed loop tension controls and load cell frames for regulating tension.

This stand consisted of two DG-2000 aluminum bladder shafts held by four safety chucks and regulated by two Re pneumatic CX.250 brakes.

Low-inertia carbon fiber rollers respond to changes in web speed to minimize web scratching and stretching. Double E offers a low-cost model which can be close to the cost of a traditional aluminum roller.
